⇒ GitLab on FreeBSD

Today I will share how to install and setup a GitLab server on FreeBSD. Most people just use Microslopft GitHub these days but this approach has one big drawback – its cloud only solution. When it comes to on premise solutions there are GitLab and there is also Gitea. GitLab is closest to what GitHub provides while Gitea is very light and smaller brother trying to achieve the same goals by doing less. Good to have alternatives.

OpenShift

For people who never heard of it (there's no link in the article …)

r/openshift in old and new Reddit:

The OpenShift Application Platform is Red Hat's enterprise-ready Kubernetes distribution, optimized for continuous application development and multi-tenant deployment.

A professional community to discuss OpenShift and OKD, Red Hat's auto-scaling Platform as a Services (PaaS) for applications.

Red Hat OpenShift

Build, accelerate, and scale with an application platform that’s built for today's workloads and tomorrow's innovation. Deliver a comprehensive experience to modernize and build new applications, accelerate AI adoption, and fuel growth.

Red Hat’s OpenShift vs FreeBSD Jails - Klara Systems (2022)

Kubernetes has become a hot technology for managing clusters of applications, but it is famously difficult technology to use and understand. RedShift is an Enterprise cloud platform for running and managing Kubes without tying you into a single platform. FreeBSD is our favorite platform for running applications here at Klara, how does RedShift relate to the technologies that FreeBSD provides and can we create similar environments on top of FreeBSD?
